Media Is Everywhere
Websites, apps, videos, social media, podcasts, e-books — these are all forms of digital media. Each one communicates information in a different way.
Types of Digital Media
- Websites: Text, images, and videos on the internet
- Social media: Platforms for sharing content and connecting with others
- Podcasts: Audio programs you can listen to on demand
- E-books: Digital books you read on a screen
- Videos and streaming: Moving images and sound
- Apps: Software programs on phones and tablets
Digital Media:Content — text, images, audio, or video — that is created, stored, and shared using digital technology.
Reading Digital Media Critically
Not all digital media is equally reliable. When you encounter digital content, ask: Who created this? Why? Is it trying to inform me, entertain me, or sell me something? Is the information accurate?
Check the URL
The web address (URL) can tell you a lot. .edu = educational institution, .gov = government, .org = organization, .com = commercial. This helps you evaluate the source.
